My dad has an entire lexicon of words he made up. And terms. When I was growing up, I didnt know which words were real and which werent.

Example. "Spiffing". WHen your pet plays a practical joke on you. Like he is at the backdoor, scratching to be let in. You get up out of the LAz-i-boy, walk to the door and open it and the pet runs away. He does the same thing again like five minutes later.

I wonder if he knew about whiffing?

What is your obesession with me? You address like 2-3 questions a day to my attention. Are you trying to bait me into saying something stupid?

Well, it worked.

No, that's what I do to Pretty Little Pisco Sour. I just to hear Tales of the Rude Fats.

I thought only proles had La-Z-Boys.

that's why he's the size of a dog. I can barely lift him. He weighs more than two of my other cats combined.

That's not hard to do. Was downtown the drinking some coffee yesterday morning when I saw this gussied up 50-year old in pink leotards and a purple spandex top - with a little chihuahua in matching pink tube outfit.

I swear, they've legalized and legitimized the possession of rats as animal companions.

Dear Not Bob,

Although some have criticised my use of the "letter" format to communicate with you about certain matters, I find it useful in that it conveys the tone of constructive criticism, as opposed to mean-spirited flaming, that I think is appropriate for posts such as this one.

I am writing to inform you that the use of "tres" to modify an English word in a sentence otherwise filled English words is the equivalent to some of walking into a chic New York bar and loudly proclaiming "Do you have any Mojitos here? I understand they are super classy!"

I write to you because I care.

Fondly,

The Flower

Shit. Now I feel like James Garner (hey!) in "Victor/Victoria." A woman, pretending to be a man, pretending to be a monkey, pretending to be a woman ... Flinty, my head hurts by keeping track of all of this, yet I am oddly attracted to you.

Apropos of nothing, that fine Blake Edwards film also starred Alex Karras. Who played Mongo in "Blazing Saddles." Which would be a better avatar (I think) than Nick Nolte's mug shot for our newest poster.

I don't quite know how to say this, but your "crazy aunt" from Wisconsin is obviously a sex-changed mob informant who has been living a witness-protection lie all these years. Did she ever bathe you?

ETA: or grandmother. Whatever. The bathing is the point. Let's focus on the bathing, shall we?

She hasn't bathed herself since 1973, which was the year of my birth. So no, she has never bathed me. There are, however, quite a few odd things in her attic.

By inducing heart attacks, it kills off (unfortunately but a small) part of the narcissisticly hip crowd? Leaving more room for proles?

Kudos, bobby.

Ok, I have an ex boyfriend circa 1997 breakup who just emailed me to ask me how Figaro (one of the cats I listed earlier) is doing. He isn't practicing law, but is a lawyer. I just posted my cat names here. Add that to the list of people I must have outted myself to....about as odd as the time I was talking to an associate in one of my firm's left coast offices and he called me a "grammar timmy".

The irony of it all is that Alex Karras was also featured in not only Blazing Saddles, but also as one of the comentators on Monday Night Football - preceding Dennis Miller by many, many years.

Weird. I don't think my Crazy Grandmother has ever been outside of rural Wisconsin. She's far more wordly than I suspected.

All my really old, hard-core Norse Old Country relatives say it, too.

Actually three. The Post, the Union-Trib (not a real newspaper), and the Chronicle (a semi real newspaper).

I'll agree about the generally crappy stories.
